Femara or Clomid?

Maybe she can use my Endo card again. It technically wouldn't be lying. I didn't know anything about Femara so I never asked my doctor about that. Which one do you think would be better to take?

I was told that my RE's office uses Femara, rather than Clomid, because it has less side effects and a lower chance of multiples. But, they both do the same thing and many women have gotten lucky on both.
